Abstract

 

The most common and current treatment modality of hydrocephalus is the drainage of the cerebrospinal fluid into the peritoneal cavity via ventriculo-peritoneal shunt. Although it is a simple procedure, complications are not rare. In this study two cases of anal protrusion of ventriculo-peritoneal shunt catheter were presented, the mechanism of development and treatment were discussed.

Key Words: Hydrocephalus, Ventriculo-Peritoneal shunt, Anus.
